Animal Crossing: City Folk, like the other two games in the series, is rather deep despite its simplistic and peaceful approach to accomplishing goals. With our help, you'll be on your way to maximizing your efficiency and possessions (not to mention Bells!) in no time.
In this Animal Crossing: City Folk strategy guide, you'll find:
Unlock the tool upgrades listed below by the corresponding method.
To get the following of Tortimer's goods, speak to him on the corresponding day noted below.
To earn the Bug Trophy, catch the largest bug by the end of the Bug Contest. To earn the Fish Trophy, catch the largest fish by the end of the Fishing Contest.
If you've got some stuff you don't want, like ugly furniture or shirts, you can attach it to a letter and send the letter to another resident of your town. Town residents will almost always respond with a letter of their own and a different item attached.
In order to change the color of your shoes, visit Kicks in the City. Ask him to shine your shoes. Depending on the color of your character’s hair (which can be changed by using Shampoodle), your shoes will be colored identically.
Below are some of the prizes you receive for making certain town donations:
Additions from egonny.
On Monday nights, head to the southeast corner of your town. A voice will talk to you when you arrive. Follow its directions until you find the source of the voice, which is a ghost named Whisp. He tells you that he lost his lamp and needs you to find it (for a pretty reward, of course!) You should then meet him in the attic of your house once the lamp is found. For doing this for him, he’ll grant you one wish. You can ask him to clear your town of weeds, clear your town of cockroaches, or give you a randomized item.
Deposit the amounts of money listed below into the in-game bank to unlock the corresponding feature.
When you spend money in Tom Nook’s store, you earn a point for every 100 Bells you spend. Purchase the items listed below from Tom Nook for the corresponding amount of points earned.
Mushrooms are valuable items that can be sold to Tom Nook for Bells. If you happen to find Elegant Mushrooms, you're in luck, because those valuable items are worth a shocking 10,000 Bells a piece.
Just like in previous Animal Crossing games, there will be a random rock in your town each day that, when found, will give you increasing amounts of Bells. The more you hit it with your equipped shovel, the more Bells you will get. If you want to hit the rock more and more, try digging holes around the rock, thus giving yourself more room to hit the half-submerged rock.
If you want to unlock all of your old items and goods from the DS title Animal Crossing: Wild World, transfer your save file from your DS to your Wii. When you do, all of the items you had in the DS game will be available for sale via Tom Nook's catalog.
Below is a list of cost for expanding the size of your house for each addition.
For massive amounts of money, consider going fishing in late July or early August around 7 at night. You'll find some of the most expensive fish on those days at that specific time. They are listed below, along with their value.
If you want to change the face of your Mii-based character in Animal Crossing, consider changing your face on the dedicated Mii Channel outside of the game. If you do it in-game, you'll needlessly waste 3,000 Bells that you could otherwise spend on something else.
The fish listed below are some great catches to go for during the winter months for massive amounts of Bells.
Head to the city after 8 p.m. and you may just come across a surprise. Head to the right to where the cones are and one may be moved aside at random. Enter the tunnel and you'll come across Resetti himself in his den of wonders. He'll yell at you as usual and give you a Silver Shovel (which will occasionally double your money when you use it on Money Stones).
Between 8:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. each Christmas Eve (that's December 24th for you Festivus followers) a reindeer named Jingle will appear in your town. You can get the Jingle Series items from him. He'll only recognize you by your threads, and if you continue to change your shirt and accessories, you can go back for more.
At the end of every November, a Harvest Festival occurs in your town on Thanksgiving Day (November 27, 2008; November 26, 2009 etc.). On this day, Tortimer, the mayor, will appear by the fountain to offer you a fork and knife. Search the town for Franklin the Turkey, who hides behind trees and houses, and give him the fork and knife. He’ll reward you with a piece of the Harvest furniture set. You may repeat these steps for more furniture, beginning with a visit to Tortimer.
Jack, a pumpkin-headed creature will appear in your town on Halloween (October 31, any year). Unfortunately, all of the animals in your village will be sporting the same orange squash helmet as Jack, so tracking him down for a treat can be tricky. Unlike the animals, Jack won't follow you when your near. Before you search for him, be sure to have some candy ready. Candy can be found in different ways; one place to find it is in eggs on Bunny Day (in March). When you talk to Jack, you may exchange candy for pieces of the Spooky furniture set. You may repeat these steps for more furniture as long as you have candy, so stock up!
You must travel to other players' towns via Wi-Fi to get certain items. Different versions of the game in different regions (North America - Japan and Europe) have different holidays and - consequently - different items. Talk to Tortimer for your gift on each holiday. It's time to make some pen pals!
Note: The North American Region holidays have been excluded from this list.
